Historical revisionists want to call this club the New York Mutuals, but "Mutual" was the club's actual name, not its nickname. They were only called the "Mutuals" in newspapers in the way that teams like the Chicago White Stockings were the "Chicagos". To illustrate this fine point, the team sported green hosiery during one season, and papers referred to that year's team as the "Mutual Green Stockings." A more modern analogy would be the Mission Club of San Francisco, which co-existed with the San Francisco Seals for awhile in the Pacific Coast League . The club was shown as "Mission" in the standings. They were also called "the Missions" frequently. But their official nickname was the "Reds", so they were actually the "Mission Reds". |
